National calls for more openness from police

From Morning Report, 6:14 am on 11 July 2019

The National Party's police spokesperson says the police needs to be more open with the public about gun safety issues.

The police have revealed two people were shot dead in the past decade by people who had a firearms licence despite having been convicted of a crime in Australia.

Brett Hudson told our police reporter, Ben Strang, that giving out more than 600 firearms licences to people convicted of crimes in Australia isn't good enough.
